I have a Sony 725 which must be similar, and found the same problem. Sony players have different lasers that is very fussy about the reflectivity of the disc.I did a lot of research on the net and found basically Sony DVD palyers can play a brand of CDR called Princo and a few own brands. They are not sold in this country. But you may be interested to know most CD-RW brands can be played. I have checked and can confirm it works. I know CDRW cost a little more, but at least it works. By the way if you find a brand of CDR that works, please let everyone know.

Princo discs are sold in the UK.

Both Maplins (pack of 50 last time I got some) and Staples stock them

Cheers cw2000. I will go and get some now. Did you try them on a Sony DVD player ? If you did, did it work ?

Created both an Audio CD and VCD. Both worked perfectly on my Sony 725.
